In preparation for a special issue on Latin American/Caribbean environmental history, the Hispanic American Historical Review invites submission of article-length manuscripts on the causes, processes, and/or consequences of environmental change and its societal impacts. In reviewing those submissions, the journal’s editors will seek essays that advance this emerging field through (a) case-studies based on rich empirical evidence; or
(b) the integration of environmental history with other fields in the discipline (e.g., agrarian, cultural, economic, urban); or
(c) the examination of the region’s environmental history from comparative or global perspectives.

Scholars interested in submitting manuscripts should send an abstract, not to exceed 500 words, clearly explaining how your work advances current scholarly understandings of environmental history in the region, to the managing editor, hahr@pitt.edu. Deadline for submission of abstract: September 1, 2008. On the basis of their review of those abstracts, the editors will invite full-length manuscripts, which will by due by February 1, 2009, and will undergo the journal’s normal process of peer review.
